Kabuki musician teams up with the world’s only official ninja organisation for a night you’ll remember forever.
Japan Ninja Council
Japan Ninja Council wants to give visitors their first steps down the path of the shinobi.
The Last Ninja Master seeks to establish the first and only online certificate platform for anyone in the world to become a Master of Ninja.
Spacious eight-person room makes a perfect base for shinobi missions in Tokyo, but passing up sushi counter room is a hard choice.
Japan Ninja Council sending delegation to speak, show their shinobi skills at National Diet House of Representatives session.
When you think of “cool Japan,” it’s hard to overlook ninjas, those stealthy spies and assassins with more tricks up their sleeve than a magician in a parka. And yet it seems these timeless icons of Japanese culture have largely been overlooked by the national government’s Cool Japan in favor of AKB48 spin-offs and abacuses.
So instead, a band of 11 Japanese governors and mayors have assembled to create the Japan Ninja Council (JNC) with the sole aim of reminding everyone how cool ninjas are. Having officially launched on 9 October they aim to collect every bit of information on ninjas, including their history and culture, and provide it to anyone who wants to learn more about these elusive figures.
